Избранные и прекрасные

The book vividly explores the allure and emptiness of high society, but I wondered if it also critiques those values or just highlights them.

Blending historical fiction with fantasy was such a bold choice, and I’m curious whether this was driven by a love for the era or a desire to explore certain themes.

The characters felt nuanced and authentic, which isn’t always easy in historical fiction. Would love to hear about the research or creative process behind that.
